Golems and Failed Triumph

When Richard phoned
the gale winds outside
were making my Japanese maple dance.

His sweet voice
buzzed happy.

So. Tribeca experts examined
his heart's art. A rich
validation. Paradise.

"They liked my work," he said.
Called him a draftsman.
(Now singing "Draftsman"
instead of "Jazzman" to Carole King's song.)

"I am so proud of you," I said.

Proud of your fearless vision
Anguish
Tears
Fullness
Your dreams.
Those precious hands.

my light
my son.

Draftsman instead of Jazzman

Richard's Hands

What Will I Create Today?


This week in New York
the art world parties.

Here I wait
watch
care for the needy.

Still looking North.

So much to do:
checklists
obligations
time

No answers.
patience.

A new week begins.
What will I create today?
